Location – Set on the magnificent Lizard Peninsula, not far from the tranquil creeks of the Helford River, lies one of Cornwall’s most historic coastal villages. Known locally as ‘Pralla’, Porthallow was once a thriving fishing community and home to a busy fleet of pilchard luggers, hence the name of its traditional village pub, ‘The Five Pilchards’. The family owned pub is undoubtedly the hub of the village.A short walk from the village you’ll find the Fat Apples cafe with its delightful garden.

The gardens offer a wonderful balance of open and natural space, with a generous lawn and patio providing the perfect areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the surroundings.
Woodland- One of the most special aspects of the property is its unique setting. Surrounded by approximately an acre of woodland and grounds, the house sits in a wooded valley just a couple of minutes’ walk from the sea, while remaining part of a vibrant village community.
